MIEATTSLISING MACHEHE.

mums,

lletlnrrlancls, residing; at li adlznihstrasse 3,

25 Zurich, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Mesh Slicing Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates io a new and improved meat-slicing machine of the type. in which a table carrying the meat to he sliced is rcciprocatecl lo and from a verlical rotating circular knife. in all she meal slicing machines of this kind the bracket in which the circular knife is joilrnalcd prevents the arrangement of a meat-plate or the like in such a manne that the cut slices of a large piece of meat are fully and neatly deposited on fhe plate without further handling the slices by the operator of the innchinc. This disadvantage is vol-y apparentwhcn the machine is used in the kitchen to cut meat while if is hot. if the slices of hot meat are to be handled to place them on a plate they cool and unpalatable and get an unsightly appearance.

ll. further drawback of the known slicing machines consists that a circular knife, having a diameter comparatively small can not cut fully through a large piece of meat.

The object of the invention is 'to obviate the drawbacks aforesaid and l attain this object by providing a bracket for the circular hnife which leaves plenty of space .lio place a plate 'or dish adapted to receive ihe slices nea v in front of the circular knife. The bracket adjustable "with reference lo the reciprocating table in such a manner that a li'niie Wish reduced; diameter cuts she slice fully oil from large pieces of inc-ail.

Usher objects of the invenfion relate to the provision of minor parts cooperating with the bracket above noted and to details of construction, all of Which willloe more clearly set forlh in the following specificalion.

i lith the above objects in view the inven i ion. resides in the parts and combination of hereinafter described, and particularly "f forth in'ihe claims appended hereto.

in order that myinvenliion may he clearly understood, If have illustrated the-seine in the accompanying draivin s in a cliagi'anc inatical manner,

Fig-ace ll. shows a front elevation of the specification of Letters llfaxken'l.

ll: 52 is a section on line 131 B of Fig. l. h1g5.- 3 is a detail elevation partly in sec- $1011 of lhe driving chain and ills coi'ineciion'. 1g. 4 isv a detail sectional view lhroug h lhe bracket 2 and also on the plane dicalaed by the line A-B of l In the drawing 1 denotes the circular knife which rotates in a vcriical plane and the arbor of which is rotafahly mounted. in the free end of a bracket arm On a fined guide. 3 of the machine a slide is slidahlv mounted. On the slide a the to he sliced is fixed in the well known manner hv nwans of a clamping device and the slide is fed automatically toward the knife, lhe feed being adjustable and is made accordingg io the (lesired thickness of the slice. The arm 2, of the bracket is bent as shown in Fig. l, the lower end thereof is uljusiahly arranged on the frame of the machine and isrigidly fixed thereto in the desired posiiion by means of screws. Ti lie hracliei; 2" is hollow and is provided with adjustable chain roll- *.s 10, 11 which may be adjusted in slots of the bracket. A chain 8 is provided Within the bracket running over the chain Wheel fixed to shah; 6, the guide rollers 10, 11 and a chain wheel 9 fixed to the arbor on The chain and chain Wheels are Within the. hollow bracket 'lhe rollers 10 age used for tight ei'iing is fixed to the frame 5 icy/means of screws 12, 13 its position with reference to the slide i may he altered in such a mannez one file axis of the circular knife 1 takes for instance the position shown in dotted lin in Fig. 1. the dian'ietecof the knife 1 is reduced the bracket is iiiljdSicll in such a nianner that ihe outer edge of the slide el and therefore the cat placed chereon passes fully the cutting edge of the knife Panel the slices and guiding the chain. The oracltei' are fully severed from the piece-of meal;

slices are placed oorcrectly and neatly on the plate ready to he brought on inlale.

What! claim as new and Wish to secure by 'll-A meat slicing machine comprising in frame, a reciprocating shde on said frame adapted to receive the meat to bs-sliced, a rotary knife, means to reciprocate said slide and to rotate said knife, a

- bracket having a journal in which said knife said bracket having an arcnated reciprocating slide.

,adapted to receive a are placed said plate on said frame adapted to receive the meat to be sliced, arotary knife, means to reciprocate said slide and to rotate said knife, a bracket in Which said knife rotates, said bracket having an arcuated form, a plate dish on which the slices being shaped in conformity to said bracket, means to adjust the bracket with reference to the reciprocating slide, said bracket being hollow to receive the driving means for said knife.

4. A meat slicing machine comprising in combination a frame, a reciprocating slide on-said frame adapted to receive the meat to be sliced, a rotary knife, means to reciproe-ate said slide and to rotate said knife, a bracket in which saidknife rotates, said bracket having an arcuated from, a plate shaped in conformity to said bracket, means to adjust thabracket with reference to the reciprocating slide, a hollow in said bracket to receive the driving chain for said knife and means Within said hollow bracket to v tighten the chain substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.

In Witness whereof I affix my signature.
